Roger Moore is the Best Bond

by Matthew Holbrook
(Grovetown, Georgia, USA)

Roger Moore has a great voice for an Englishman and also looks more realistic in the role. In Goldfinger, Sean Connery didn't show much emotion when he discovered Auric Goldfinger's evil plan, he just dimmed his eyes a little.

Roger Moore shows more emotion and has style in the gun barrel sequence at the beginning of the films. In addition, Moore faced one of the toughest criminals in the series, Jaws (Richard Kiel), in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979).

Jaws is cold blooded like a shark! His teeth are very threatening. So Roger Moore is the most interesting James Bond actor.

Grant's Reply: Great insight! Roger Moore certainly was popular as James Bond, and will always be remembered by many for his mannerisms: i.e. raising the eyebrow. Jaws was definitely one of the most threatening villains in the 007 films. Other henchmen that were quite intimidating include:

• Donald Grant in From Russia with Love (1963)
  
• Oddjob in Goldfinger (1964)
  
• Chang in Moonraker (1979)
  
• Gobinda in Octopussy (1983)
  
• Necros in The Living Daylights (1987)
  
• Dario in Licence to Kill (1989)
  
• Stamper in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
